Through Train Blues

Tampa Red


I hate to hear : that through train blow boo hoo

Every time I hear it blowing : I feel like riding too

The woman I love : treat me so unkind

Going to pack my grip : and leave this lonesome town

I'm going away : just to wear you off my mind

And I may be gone baby : a doggone long long time

I'm going to grab me a freight train : ride until it stops

Ain't going to stay around here : and be no stumbling block
